RTM_MISS is actually fairly common when you don't have a default route.

Messages which get enqueued don't necessarily get delivered -- and very 
few processes actually listen to the routing socket actively like this, 
so I wouldn't worry about it.

If it's a real concern for you then you could try hacking in a sysctl to 
tell the radix trie code not to issue RTM_MISS messages on the routing 
socket.
